AI Technical Summary
The gas turbine waste heat boiler cannot regulate the steam flow, which makes it difficult to stabilize the low-pressure heating steam flow and temperature when the gas turbine load changes, thus failing to meet the needs of industrial production.
A connecting pipe is installed between the high-pressure main steam pipeline and the low-pressure main steam pipeline, and equipped with a shut-off valve and a regulating valve. The regulating valve controls the entry of high-pressure steam into the low-pressure steam pipeline, thereby achieving dynamic regulation of steam flow and temperature.
When the gas turbine is under low load or the load changes, it can adjust the low-pressure steam flow and temperature to meet the industrial steam demand, improve the reliability and flexibility of the system, and avoid system shutdown due to turbine failure.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste heat boiler heating technology, and more particularly to a dual-compression gas turbine waste heat boiler with adjustable steam flow, which is suitable for dynamic distribution and parameter control of high and low pressure main steam in a combined heat and power system. Background Technology
[0002] In combined cycle cogeneration, the waste heat boiler recovers waste heat from the gas turbine exhaust, generating steam to drive the turbine for power generation, while also producing low-parameter steam for industrial production. When there is a heating demand, part of the system's steam is used for heating, and the rest is used for power generation; when there is no heating demand, all the steam from the waste heat boiler is used for turbine power generation.
[0003] The gas turbine waste heat boiler steam-water system includes heat exchange tube bundles, containers, and auxiliary equipment such as steam drum, economizer, evaporator, superheater, header, desuperheater, valves, and water pumps.
[0004] Gas turbine waste heat boilers utilize the exhaust heat from gas turbines to heat water, simultaneously producing relatively independent steam with different parameters. However, the steam parameters and production capacity of a gas turbine waste heat boiler depend entirely on the parameters and flow rate of the gas turbine exhaust; the boiler itself lacks the means to regulate steam flow. In some combined heat and power (CHP) projects, high-pressure steam is typically used entirely for turbine power generation, while low-pressure steam is used for industrial production or turbine power generation as needed. Industrial production requires stable steam flow and other parameters. When the gas turbine load is low, the demand for low-pressure heating steam flow is high or requires constant flow, or when industrial production lines are upgraded and adjusted, increasing the steam flow, pressure, and temperature requirements, conventional gas turbine waste heat boiler systems struggle to meet these demands.
[0005] After the high-pressure main steam is depressurized, it is introduced into the low-pressure main steam header and mixed with the low-pressure steam generated by the boiler. This allows for automatic adjustment of the distribution of high and low-pressure steam flow. Since the low-pressure main steam is used for heating, a desuperheater is installed at the end of the low-pressure main steam pipeline to maintain the stability of the heating steam temperature when the load of the gas turbine changes. This effectively solves the problem of stabilizing parameters such as the heating steam flow rate in combined cycle cogeneration. Utility Model Content
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model designs a dual-compression gas turbine waste heat boiler with adjustable steam flow.
[0007] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A dual-pressure gas turbine waste heat boiler with adjustable steam flow includes a boiler flue. Within the flue, a high-pressure superheater II, a high-pressure superheater I, a high-pressure evaporator, a low-pressure superheater, a high-pressure economizer, a low-pressure evaporator, and a low-pressure economizer are sequentially arranged. The low-pressure feedwater inlet is connected to the low-pressure economizer via a pipeline. The low-pressure economizer is connected to the low-pressure boiler drum. The water outlet of the low-pressure boiler drum is connected to the low-pressure evaporator via a downcomer. The low-pressure evaporator is connected to the low-pressure boiler drum via a riser. The steam outlet of the low-pressure boiler drum is connected to the low-pressure superheater. The low-pressure superheater is connected to the turbine's low-pressure main steam pipeline. The cylinder and industrial gas interface are connected. The low-pressure boiler drum is connected to the high-pressure economizer via pipeline. The high-pressure economizer is connected to the high-pressure boiler drum. The water outlet of the high-pressure boiler drum is connected to the high-pressure evaporator via a downcomer. The high-pressure evaporator is connected to the high-pressure boiler drum via a riser. The steam outlet of the high-pressure boiler drum is connected to the first high-pressure superheater. The first high-pressure superheater is connected to the second high-pressure superheater. The second high-pressure superheater is connected to the high-pressure cylinder of the turbine via the high-pressure main steam pipeline. The low-pressure main steam pipeline is equipped with a desuperheater. The high-pressure main steam pipeline and the low-pressure main steam pipeline are connected by a pipeline. The pipeline is equipped with a shut-off valve and a regulating valve.
[0009] Preferably, a check valve is provided on the low-pressure main steam pipeline.
[0010] Preferably, the desuperheater is connected to the low-pressure water supply inlet.
[0011] Preferably, a high-pressure water pump is installed on the pipeline connecting the low-pressure boiler drum and the high-pressure economizer.
[0012] Preferably, a chimney is connected to the tail end of the boiler flue.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: (1) Under low-load conditions of the gas turbine, since a connecting pipe is set between the high-pressure main steam and the low-pressure main steam, and a shut-off valve and a regulating valve are set on the pipe, the high-pressure main steam is introduced into the low-pressure main steam pipe by opening the shut-off valve and the regulating valve, so as to increase the flow rate of the low-pressure main steam and solve the problem of insufficient flow rate of the low-pressure main steam; (2) Under the condition of constant gas turbine load, according to the industrial steam consumption requirements, the low-pressure main steam heating flow rate is adjusted by adjusting the opening of the regulating valve to match the industrial steam demand; (3) When the gas turbine exhaust temperature is low in winter, the low-pressure main steam temperature When the temperature is too low and does not meet the industrial gas demand, the high-temperature high-pressure main steam is mixed with the low-pressure main steam by adjusting the opening of the regulating valve, thereby increasing the temperature of the low-pressure main steam to meet the industrial steam demand; (4) When the industrial gas temperature changes or there is a demand for improvement, the shut-off valve and regulating valve are opened to allow the high-temperature high-pressure main steam to be introduced into the low-pressure main steam pipeline, and the temperature is adjusted by the desuperheater to meet the new steam parameter requirements; (5) When the turbine fails, the turbine inlet valve can be closed and the regulating valve can be fully opened to use all the steam for heating, thereby avoiding the shutdown of the entire system due to the turbine failure and improving the reliability of the system.
